The bride shrieked a delicate little
shrek, and then after successfully
going through those fainting exer-
cises, recovered sufficiently to an
nounce in a determined voice, that
she was sorry the matter turned
out as it did, as she did not
like to disappoint her friends,
that in fact, rather than do so,
she would consent to marry the
first man that presented himself, and
at the same time turned the power
full battery of her magnificent eyes
upon the Baron.
As snow melts before the sun so
did he before the fire Iof that gaze
and as though compelled by some pc.
tent spell he arose, and advancing
to the bridal group, with infinite
grace and gallantry promptly offered
himself and was as promptly ac-
cepted. The interrupted ceremony
was gone through with and in a few
minutes the Baron stood in the
midst of q group of congratulating
friends, the husband of one of the
most dashing bellies in the province.
Then and there only did he realize
the amusing blunder he had allowed
himself to commit. He had entirely
overlooked the trivial matter, that
there was in the Ancestral Home a
lady Clamm and two little chowders
who possibly might seriously object
to the present turn his popularity Of
disposition had taken. How many
men, when away from home commit
the same amusing mistake.
Under the plea of returning to his
hotel to assume a garb fitting the
festive hour, he fastened from the
church, and went not TO the hotel,
but II. b. M Consular Agent, and
there frankly telling the story sought
that officials aid to get him out of
that dilemma. A consultation took
place and as a result the Baron was
apprehended as an escaped lunatic
for whom ii. b. MS Government
had been looking for some time, and
for that reason the Baron was placed
under consular restraint. The case
was heard before the proper local
authorities, and the proofs of the
Baron's want of mental balance being
overwhelming a decree of divorce
was readily granted, and the Baron
despatched home by the next
steamer.
This adventure being told at the
Clubs soon reached the ears of the
Admiralty, and the announcement
it occasioned coupled by family in
fuence, the Baron's request for a
commission was Immediately grant
ed, and his post of duty assigned to
the Blunderbuss.
The second Junior Officer, whose
display of youthful eccentricity of
character, was the leading cause of
his present preferment was one
George Sydney Northington, younger
son of a wealthy mercantile Baronet
and member of Parliament. Accord
ing to the on honor vouched state
ment of the loquacious midshipmen
the following little incident was the
prime mover of his ub-Lieutenancy.
Young Northington having proven
himself too wild a bird of passage
for the Ancestral cage to hold, was
despatched by his father to Spain,
as an Attache to II. b. MS Lega-
ton to that kingdom. Like all
younger sons of Bonnie Albion, he
was extremely fond of lingering
over the bottle after dinner-in fact
the habit had taken so notorious a
hold upon him, that his friends,
whose interests, made it policy to
invite him to dinner, soon found
that, for their cellars sake it was an
imperative necessity to curtail their
generous flow at the after dinner
sittings. Some few months after
the gentleman's assumption Of duty
in his new field of labor-a grand
reception had been rendered the
Diplomatic Corps at the Royal Palace
of the Escurial-to which he of
course was ordered to attend. The
evening before, the attache had been
one of a jovial party, who had
assembled at the Hotel of an Eng
fish tourist, to celebrate the open
ing of several bottles of prime old
home production. He returned to
his own quarters, under the guild
ance of his servant, in a state of
complete, gentlemanly intoxication
and had been snugly escounced
between his sheets, in a state of half
undress. Now the young gentleman
from early childhood had been a
victim to weakness of the lungs,
and by the advice of his physician,
and his mama's commands, he con-
tinually arrayed himself in red
medicated hannels. Now, every
body whose good fortune it has
been, to breathe the gentle zephers
of the poetical home of De la Rosa
known that the prescribed colors
of the Court dress there, is red
rich, bright, cardinal red--a color
in perfect harmony with that of the
Attaches underwear. Northington
awoke on the morning of the Levee,
at about $50, and jumping out of
bed, took quick view of his person,
and seeing himself arrayed in the
